The colleges in QLM visited Boulby underground laboratory located in Boulby mine, 1.1km below ground . It is one of the deepest science laboratories. Its unique environment allows researches requiring ultra-low background level.

One of my favourite weeks of teaching Fourier Optics. The theme for the week is: spatial filtering and the 4f set up; we shall learn about the significance of f2f in Fourier optics!

In this week's Fourier Optics course we study time-dependent optical phenomena: slow light; fast light; and group-velocity dispersion. From Chapter 7 of #opticsf2f written with @DurhamQlm colleague C Stuart Adams 🇪🇺 📷🖋📡

Such a pleasure to host a great scientist, clear thinker and superb mentor. My time as a PhD student at Durham Quantum Light and Matter was totally formative in becoming a scientist.

Happy to see our paper on the microwave-optical Kerr effect in Cu2O get picked as a featured article in APL Photonics!

New paper alert!

Last year Durham colleagues have visited Boulby Underground Laboratory. Today Sean Paling from this lab comes to Durham and gave QLM a seminar where he introduced the interesting science projects in this facility in the North East of England, in Europe's deepest working mine!

Colleagues from QLM are celebrating Dr Alex Guttridge being awarded a Royal Society University Research Fellowship! We look forward to finding more about his research at Durham. #Rydberg #ultracold_molecules

In our latest issue, we have a special collection of Reviews covering recent progress in the generation and study of cold and ultracold molecules for applications in quantum simulation, metrology and chemistry. (1/n) nature.com/collections/af…

A great turnout of QLM people in the physics BBQ! There’s no better way to celebrate a summer’s night.

5 of the team involved in this exciting venture were PhD students at QLM!

🚀 QLM is thrilled to be part of this groundbreaking project! This will drive innovation and make a significant impact in our field. Stay tuned for more updates! #Quantum #Innovation

New paper!

A big turnout of QLM at Vic 🤩 Nothing better than a pint at Friday evening

Work on Modelling spectra of hot alkali vapour on the arXiv. In the saturation regime we show excellent agreement of theory/expt over 5 orders of magnitude.
